Phillip Hughes Memorial Match
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This match fails to meet notability standards for a cricket match. It is not of List A standard or its Twenty20 equivalent and it is to be played amongst players from the non-ODI Nepalese team and state level Australian players. The result or a description of play from this match will have no historical significance. The sole historical significance attributable to this match is the fact that it is a tribute to Phillip Hughes; that alone is not sufficient to justify giving the article its own page (WP:INHERIT), and that piece of information about the tribute can be captured in a single sentence in Hughes' personal page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aspirex (talk • contribs) 15:12, 5 April 2015

 * Redirect to Phillip Hughes. Does not meet WP:CRIN.Doctorhawkes (talk) 00:35, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Rhododendrites. As described by Aspirex, the participants scheduled to play are unlikely to garner enough interest for it to be notable beyond the fact that it is a memorial match, so it is unlikely to satisfy WP:GNG either. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 05:20, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect, no indication match will have any lasting significance. WWGB (talk) 05:08, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a cricket match played by international players in memory of an international player. Many international players including Australian Tests and ODI cricketer Matthew Elliott and 10 Nepalese T20Is cricketers played the match. The match was well covered by international medias like ESPNcricinfo as well as Cricket Australia and Cricket Association of Nepal and was also broadcasted live on NTV Plus. The references used in the article will just explain that. There's no doubt it is one of the most notable cricket matches played. According to Cricket Australia Chairman Wally Edwards, the tribute match will stage each year in Nepal. So it's important to have a single article if not separate articles for every single edition.
